WHEREAS: BZA Application No.16611 requests special exceptions for use as a private school of Lots 27, 28, and 65 in Square 2243, addressed at 4101 and 4103 Connecticut Avenue and 2969 Upton Street NW which are currently zoned R-5-D; and

WHEREAS: The Edmund Burke School proposes to construct an addition to the existing school at 2955 Upton Street on these lots; and

WHEREAS: ANC 3F on October 16, 2000, approved a resolution opposing BZA application 16611; and

WHEREAS: Two ANC 3F Commissioners and representatives of the school's neighbors directly impacted by the proposal met with representatives of the Burke School on October 29, 2000, to discuss a redesign of the Burke School project to achieve key neighborhood objectives that would ensure that:
(1) traffic generated by the school would be confined to the school's property and arterial-level streets; and

(2) that on-site parking would be provided to meet the school's parking demands for daytime and evening activities; and

WHEREAS: representatives of the Edmund Burke School provided ANC3F with a pre-hearing statement on January 10, 2001 which revised and updated the pre-hearing statement previously received by ANC3F on September 26, 2000; and

WHEREAS: The revised pre-hearing statement does not achieve the above key neighborhood objectives.

THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT: ANC 3F reaffirms its opposition to BZA Application No.16611 and recommends and urges that the BZA deny this application.
